Even before I began massage school in 2000, I knew I wanted my focus to be prenatal massage. Pregnant mothers have unique needs that I understood well from my own recent pregnancies. Immediately upon graduation, I completed additional certification in Prenatal Massage and Doula Service, expanding my scope to assist women during labor.

However, I do not limit myself to pregnant clients – I love to work with all folks! I enjoy teaching parents infant massage, helping bodybuilders repair in between workouts, and easing the particular aches of seniors. I have a special place in my heart for those who are recovering from trauma through the healing touch of massage.

Circulation restoration therapy utilizes an electromagnetic frequency that tones and stimulates the blood vessels and optimizes circulation which affects every system in the body. The quality of your life is in the blood and the more blood flow you have, the more capability your body has to heal and the energy to live your life to the fullest.

At Wellspring Vitality we provide circulation restoration therapy using the BEMER, a frequency energy Class ll medical device. Within the first eight minutes of use, the BEMER creates an increase of oxygen in the body by 30% or more.

This increase in oxygenation has been found to: - Increase wound healing times. - Balance sleep cycles. - Increase recovery time from physical training. - Reduces stress.

I know what it is like to feel lost in searching for the answers to a health issues.

I have spent the last 21 years of my life studying different forms of healing and medicine, in part because I could not find a practitioner who listened to me or knew how to help me. I have healed myself from chronic pain, digestive disorders, environmental illness and autoimmunity by diligently studying and seeking out the best treatment modalities that I could find.

Along the way, I have discovered a deep fascination with the human body and our relationship between physical, emotional and spiritual health. I have learned ancient tools of Chinese Medicine and modern tools of Western diagnostic medicine. I have learned the importance of expressing emotions and processing emotions in a variety of ways in our lives. I have learned the impact that our diet has on our well-being. I have learned the importance of being aware of and redirecting our brain processes.

After graduating from Chinese Medicine school, I was inspired to continue my training in neuro-acupuncture with Drs. Jason and Linda Hao because I witnessed the profound effect that neuro-acupuncture can have on the lives of those with central nervous system disorders. I have also studied Functional Medicine with Functional Medicine University and I study Foundational Medicine with the Drs. at Cellcore Biosciences.

In my work as a practitioner, I offer this knowledge to you guiding you on your own wellness journey in the hopes that it helps you find your way on your path.

Many signs directed me toward the Healer’s path. My formative years were spent asking questions that have no answers and living through a veil of curiosity. I was inspired to dive into healing through the desire to mend myself; paired with a deep sense of connection, acceptance, and empathy for others. After years of practicing my own form of transformative energy work, I attended massage school and was then guided to receive Reiki instruction. I wholly believe in the limitless healing power of the cell, the person, and humanity. My young children are often found offering up warm palms to our ails. It is a testament to the purity and simplicity of this approach. I am committed to holding a space of acceptance and honor to all who I encounter, and I offer heart-centered support to each unique journey.

During my leisure time I can be found with my lovely husband and children exploring the forest, creating, building, writing, teaching, pondering. As a life long learner, always seeking the deeper meaning, I happily invest much of my life to studying. From the ways of the earth and plant medicines, to the phenomenon of being human. – Rainee McCue

Exercise with oxygen training (EWOT) includes breathing in higher concentrations of oxygen while exerting yourself on a stationary bike or other accessible form of exercise. During a session the highest concentration of oxygen you will take in is 93%; compare this with the 21% that is the normal oxygenated level you breathe in at sea level. This high concentration of oxygen will be contrasted with lower oxygenated levels, similar to altitude training, to increase the beneficial effects and difficulty of the training.

Individual masks are required and available for purchase from Wellspring. Contamination is a nonissue because your mask is yours alone! Our providers will discuss your fitness level and help you to make the most of each session.

This therapy is not only a great option to increase endurance and athletic performance, the increased oxygenation and blood flow in the body also decreases symptoms associated with chronic pain and fatigue conditions like autoimmune diseases, arthritis, Lyme’s disease, and Type 2 diabetes.

These benefits of exercising with oxygen therapy are due to the increased oxygen circulation. Increasing the oxygen supply necessary to the countless chemical processes that occur in your body boosts your body’s performance naturally. Low oxygen supply to different areas of the body is linked to many different diseases and disorders that grow more common with age. For those experiencing these symptoms, increased blood flow to damaged tissue can speed the healing process.

The direct results of liveo2 Adaptive Contrast training include: - Improved cardiovascular and respiratory health. - Reduced inflammation and pain in the body. - Faster recovery time after workouts, injuries, or illness. Increased energy and athletic performance - Better immune system health. - Improved vision and clarity of mind. - Cleanses body of impurities.

First time users of LiveO2 who do not first book a training session, will not experience LiveO2 as an Exercise with Oxygen Training (EWOT) but purely as Oxygen Therapy. You will sit or gently stretch while performing breathwork exercises led by a staff member.

Red and Near Infrared light is an FDA-approved therapy that has been found to directly increase energy production at a cellular level. The Mito Red shines both of these types of light, the red between 620nm-700nm and all wavelengths of near-infrared light between 800-880nm.

Red Light Therapy, otherwise known as Low-Level laser therapy, has been actively used for nearly 40 years, and has been documented to reduce pain, and inflammation, promote healing of wounds and prevent tissue damage through cell death according to this paper documenting the history of this groundbreaking therapy.

HOW WAS RED LIGHT THERAPY DISCOVERED? Red Light Therapy was discovered by NASA researchers who were experimenting with red-light grow rooms. They found that this particular near and far infrared light sped wound healing during these studies. Since then this experimental therapy has been found to have promising side effects like reduced swelling and inflammation, improved joint health, improved physical performance and recovery, increased production of melatonin, and improved sleep. Red Light Therapy is a bioactive light frequency that induces mitochondria in your cells to increase energy production. This increase in energy production is why users experience faster wound healing time and other benefits. The Mito Red Light Therapy unit used at Wellspring emits Red and near/far infrared light. This red light range is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is emitted by the sun.

HOW SAFE IS RED LIGHT THERAPY? In an article from Healthline Red Light Therapy How Does It Work? The author describes the safety of this therapy, (RLT stands for Red Light Therapy) “RLT is different from laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies because it doesn’t cause damage to the skin surface. Laser and pulsed light therapies work by causing controlled damage to the outer layer of the skin, which then induces tissue repair. RLT bypasses this harsh step by directly stimulating regeneration of the skin. The light emitted by RLT penetrates roughly 5 millimeters below the skin’s surface.”

Red Light Therapy is one of the safest forms of phototherapy. Red light and near/far infrared light are long wavelength forms of light. Unlike ultraviolet which is short wavelength light that has known health risks. While it is recommended to wear protective glasses during therapy, this is due to caution, there are no known risks to eyesight from this therapy, and there is some initial evidence pointing to their being benefits for eye health!

BENEFITS OF MITO RED LIGHT THERAPY The Mito Red Blog has many articles linking to active studies and research about this therapy. According to their article What Is Red Light Therapy, these are just a few of the benefits of the Mito Red:

• Stimulates wound healing and tissue repair
• Reduces aging effects by supporting collagen production
• Reduces pain by decreasing swelling and inflammation
• Improves joint health
• Improves physical performance through improved muscle recovery and energy levels
• Improves sleep quality and duration
• Additional benefits we have found in our research include:
• Improved hair growth
• Relief from carpal tunnel syndrome
• Stimulates healing of slow-healing wounds, like diabetic foot ulcers
• Eases morning pain and stiffness for those with rheumatoid arthritis
• Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles
• Heals sun damaged skin

I’ve been in the North Fork area for five years and I am a Grand Junction native.

My understanding of essential oils and recognizing their value started when my daughter was 10 months old and she became ill with a mystery diagnosis that was untreatable by western medicine. After trying many natural remedies, nothing worked..until doTerra! After seeing this incredible testimony for myself, I naturally shared doTerra with everyone and built a successful business on accident, by intentionally through serving people and loving them.

My incredible experience encouraged me to live a very natural lifestyle, removing all toxins and chemicals from my house. I began curating my own natural care products, raising bees and harvesting my own beeswax for my body butters and lip balm.

I am passionate about seeing the life transforming effects of doterra and love educating and empowering people to change their lives and take control of their health naturally.
